Full Service Bookkeeping Service
Every business needs to maintain a book of financial information, no matter what size it is. Large and medium sized organizations have dedicated Finance teams to maintain their financial books. However, small businesses cannot afford to have dedicated finance teams or spend time managing its books. You need to focus on building your business and servicing your customers. Time spent away from your customers and business is lost business.
This is where we come in! We can take care of your books and accounting needs, while you focus on growing your business.
We offer a number of services to take the load off your plate, so that you can focus on growing the business and focusing on your customers:

Maintaining Financials - To effectively run your business, you need to know how your business is performing. This would include knowing whether you are profitable and / or whether you have adequate cash to sustain your business for the long term.

Notice-to-Reader (NTR) – If you are to use your income from your business, as income for your mortgage application or any borrowing, the bank may ask you to provide a NTR (notice to reader). NTR is a publication of your financial statements, that the bank will use to confirm your business financial position and income. As Chartered Accountants, we are qualified and experienced to produce NTR. This will allow you to prove your business income for your personal borrowings and to buy your dream home.
